One of my best friends recently found a Hamilton Clermont auto date model from the early 1970's in a junk shop. He would like to find a gold toned bracelet to pair with it. The watch has what I call "hidden lugs", but when I did a eBay search for "hidden lug watch bracelets" I came up empty. Anyone know what a proper word search would entail? Thank you in advance for any help.

I would measure the lug width and search for flat end bracelets.

Thank you. Since I wasn't getting any other replies, I was starting to assume I must have asked a very stupid question. I appreciate your help.

Here’s a link to pretty much all the Hamilton catalogs from the 1910’s until Swatch took them over.

Me too. That would have been helpful, both from a personal and professional perspective.
